TO THE Practitioners and Students OF THE Common LAW OF ENGLAND Especially such as would be throughly Acquainted with Conveyancing WIthout the least Flattery to the Memory of our deceased Author I may boldly say His indefatigable Labours need not be usher'd into the World with studied Eulogyes And I doubt not but you will concur with me in the same Opinion when you have perus'd this Book and confess his own Labours to be his greatest Commendation Touching the Subject matter it contains the several Forms of Settlements of Estates to Uses with power for Cestuy que use for Life and in Tayl to make Joyntures Leases and Grants of Rents Likewise the Forms of Limitation of Uses for Years for payment of Debts discharge of Sureties and raising of Portions for Younger Children It also treats of Limitation of Uses in Fee for the Lands to be sold to pay Debts c. With several forms of Revocation of Uses and limitingVses de novo and of Covenants with other Incidents to the like Conveyances Besides these there are other most useful Presidents relating to Merchants and Traders Affairs fit for all Maritime Cities Towns and places of Trade The whole Work is so Methodically digested by the Author that any Person who is not a meer stranger to the Law may make great use and advantage thereof and speedily and readily find any particular matter therein contained As to the Author I shall only say thus much in general of him viz. That Hâ—spent a considerable time in the study of the Law at Grays-Inne and being unwearied in searching after all opportunities to improve his knowledge He at length was call'd to the Barr and gain'd in a little time the Vogue of being a profound and judicious Counsellor His Apprehension was alwaies quick his Judgment deliberate solid and not wavering of a clear discerning faculty his Memory sound and his Patience the truest index of a Wise man alwaies commanded his Passions in short He was a Person of exquisite natural and acquired Parts and that which much contributed to the latter was his great Moderation and Temperance whereby his study and business glided in their delighted Channels uninterrupted Being at length wearied with Business he retir'd into the Country where having finish'd this Elaborate Work he dyed Since whose death his Manuscript being left to the Guardianship of a Friend and committed into my hands in order to be made Publick for the further advantage of such as would be perfect in the setling of Estates I have hereunto added the Learning touching Fines and Recoveries hoping the Ingenious will be moderate in their Censures And if I have in this done any thing to your Advantage it will answer the pains of him that is Your Servant W.

Some Observations taken out of our late Reports and Books touching the Law of Conveyances in general 1. A Bargains and sells to B. a Mannor Fine joyned with other assurances extinguisheth not a condition c. and Covenants to suffer a Recovery and levie a Fine for better assurance of the Mannor and that all Estates assurances and conveyances after to be made of the said Mannor should be to the uses in the said Indenture c. And in the said Indenture there is a Proviso that B. the Bargainee shall do such an Act c. And it was resolved that this Proviso amounts to a condition in Law to defeat the whole Estate and although A. and B. after levied a Fine to a third Person in reference to the Covenant aforesaid yet it was resolved that the Fine did not extinguish the said condition for it was as an assurance and was to be guided by the Indenture Cook lib. 2. 72 73. Lord Cromwels case vide Dyer 157. pag. 28 29 30. 2. Also it was resolved in the said Cromwells case Several conveyances c. do make but one assurance in Law fo 75. a. that the said bargain and sale and Recoverie and Fine although made suffered and levied at several times do make but one assurance in Law of the Mannor according to the same original bargain and contract and every of them tend to perfect the said Bargain and Sale and none of them to destroy any part of it or to subvert the true intent of the Parties As if a man makes a Lease for life of Lands in several Counties and first makes livery in one County and divers daies after maketh livery in another County yet the Rent reserved upon the Lease shall issue out of the Lands in both Counties although the livery by which the estate passed was made at several times And therefore it might be objected that presently upon the first livery the Rent should issue out of it but the Law shall not judge by parcels in subverting of the intent and agreement of the Parties but after all the Acts are done in performance of the original contract and agreement of the Parties the Law shall adjudge upon all as executed at the same time So if one make a deed of Feoffment with warranty and deliver the deed to the Feoffee and after at another time maketh livery secundum formam Charta yet the warranty is good although when the deed was delivered no estate passed to which the warranty might be annexed yet notwithstanding praxis juris pâ—â—storum is to be observed Et qui rationem in omnibus quarunt raâ—ionem subvertunt Cook l. 2. 75. a. Conveyances to be so construed that they may take effect 3. A Conveyance shall have such construction that it may take effect ut res magis valeat quà m pereat If Tenant for life and he in Remainder or Reversion joyn in a Feoffment by deed each one of them passeth his estate viz. the Lessee for life his estate by the livery and the Fee-simple moveth or passeth from him in Remainder or Reversion but if the Feoffment had been by Paroll then it should have been the Feoffment of him in Remainder or Reversion and a surrender of the Lessee for life for otherwise nothing should pass by Paroll Cook lib. 2. Fine works to corroborate a former estates and makes no discontinuance fol. 15. 4. Tenent in Tail by deed inrolled bargains and sells an house to another and his heirs and after the Tenant in Tail levies a Fine with Proclamations to the Bargainee of the same house Resolved 1. That by the Indenture of bargain and sale inrolled the Bargainee had an Estate descendible to his heirs but it was determinable by the death of the Tenant in Tail 2. Resolved that the Fine here levied to the Bargainee doth not make a Discontinuance of the Remainder in Tail nor doth any Estate of Free-hold pass by the Fine but only the Fine with the Proclamations doth corroborate the Estate of the Bargainee and the Stat. of 4 H. 7 chap. 24. and 32 H. 8. cap. 36. makes his Estate more perdurable being after the Fine determinable only upon the death of Tenant in Tail without issue but if the Fine had been levied before the bargain and sale inrolled it had been a discontinuance but in the case before it was not because it operated only upon the Estate which passed precedent Cook lib. 10. fol. 96. Edward Seymors case 5. Nota a diversity when a man hath two wayes Two waies to pass an Estate hoâ— taken to pass Lands and both of them by the Common-law and intends to pass them by one of those wayes yet ut res magiâ— valcat it shall pass by the other As if a man be seized of two Acres of Land in Fee and lettath one of them for Years and makes a Charter of Feoffment of both and maketh livery only of the Acre in possession in the name of both only the. Acre in possession passeth but if the lessee for years after doth attorne then both shall pass because he is by the common Law in the Per as to both but when a man may pass Lands either by the common Law or by raising of a use and setling of it by the Statute there in many cases it is otherwise As if the Father makes a Charter of Feoffment to the Son and a letâ—er of Attorney to make livery if no livery be made no use shall arise unto the Son because then he should be in by the Statute in another degree viz. in the Post and the intention of the Parties is much in the raising of uses Cook upon Lit. 49. a. 6.

What a FINE is A FINE is that which is accounted of all kind of Assurances the highest and most forcible and although it be but fictio Juris yet it is called a Fine quia finem litibus imponit and is also said to be exceptio peremptoria and therefore not onely esteemed A micabâ—lis compositio but finalis concordia the latter of which it is deservedly said to be quia finem ponit negotio adeo ut neutra pars litigantium ab eo de cetero possit recedere It is an Instrument or Assurance containing a final Agreement commonly made by the consent of persons sometimes by force of a Suite in Law upon some Covenant for the levying thereof concerning Lands Tenements Hereditaments Rent or other things wherein the Kings Licence must be duly had and obtained It must be acknowledged by the Cognizor Deforceant or he that parts with his right in the â—ands contained in the Fine upon a writ of Covenant most commonly but sometimes upon a Quid juris clamat per quae servicia de rationabilibus divisis de Recto patens de Recto clausum warantia Chaâ—tae c. as the case requires before the Iustices of the Common Pleas or such other persons thereunto authorized by Commission out of Chancery and lastly it must be ingrossed upon Record in the same Court there to remain for ever for the ending and composing of all differences and controversies as well between the parties and privies to the same as all strangers not claiming in due time Although a Fine is now become a formal Assurance of common use from the result of a feigned difference yet anciently it was the composure of a real controversie and the end of a Suite indeed For after the parties had contended by suite in law about the thing in question by agreement a fine was levyed of it and so the difference was ended This of all other is esteemed the best Assurance and is much of the nature of a Feoffment with Livery and Seisin executed thereupon but of greater efficacy and therefore called a Feoffment upon Record By this Lands may be conveyed in Fee-simple Fee-tayl for life or for years and rent thereby also reserved And lastly to sum up all in the words of the Sages of the Law There neither is nor can be provided by the Laws of the Land any greater or more noble Security by which any person may make his Estate more secure or produce a Testimony of the highest Nature for confirmation of his Estate then a Fine levyed in the Kings Court upon Record which is therefore called a Fine because it ought to be the Complement and end of all proceedings and differences CAP. II. Of the several kinds of a Fine OF Fines there be four kinds The first whereof is called a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que il ad de son done which is single and called also a Fine sur Release The second is a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que il ad de son done which is double and properly called a Fine sur done grant render The third is called a Fine sur Cognizance de droit tantum which is sometimes single sometimes with Grant and then it is called a Fine sur done grant And the fourth a Fine sur concessit A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. what it is il ad de son done is the best most principal and surest of all kind of Fines by which an Estate passeth absolutely to the Cognizee without rendring any thing back again to the Cognizor and therefore is said to be single It is levyed with Proclamations according to the form of the Statute 4 H. 7. Cap. 24. It is said to be executed viz. such a Fine whereby the possession in Law of the lands contained therein is immediately transferred to and vâ—sted in the Cognizee without the help of a writ of habere facias seisinam so that he may enter for that the Estate is thereby in law in the Cognizee that is to say to such uses as are declared in the deed leading the use of the Fine for take this for a maxime That unless it be declared by deed or otherwise to what use the Fine was levyed the Fine shall be and inure to the use of the Cognizor that levyed the Fine A Fine sur done grant render is that which is A Fine sur done grant render what called a double Fine being in a manner two Fines that is to say A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. and a Fine sur Concessit form'd into one whereby the Cognizee after Release and warranty made to him by the Cognizor of the lands
contained therein doth grant and render back to the Cognizor the lands c. or some part thereof and many times limitting thereby Remainders to persons that are Strangers and not named in the writ of Covenant This fine is partly executed partly executory and hath Proclamations and is quoad partem priorem absolutely of the same Nature with a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. but as to the second part containing a Grant and render as aforesaid it is taken in law to be rather a private Conveyance or Charter then to have the force of a Fine which as we have before expressed is declared to be a Feoffment upon Record With this agrees the Lord Cooks exposition in 5. Rep. fo 38. where speaking of a Fine with Render he hath these words The Cognizance of a Fine and a Grant and render therein shall be expounded and taken as a Charter or other Conveyance between party and party and not as a Writ or Iudgment upon Record A Fine sur Cognizance de droit tantum ove Fine sur done grant what grant which is also called a Fine sur done grant is levyed without Proclamations executory and much of the Nature of a Fine sur Concessit and is used commonly by Tenant for life to make a surrender of the Lands contained in it to him or them that have the Reversion or Remainder thereof and so you will find it used Chap. 10. Sect. 1. and 5. of this Treatise And sometimes it is expressed by such Fine that the particular Estate is in another and that the Cognizor willeth that the other shall have the Reversion or that the land shall remain to the other after the particular Estate spent West Symb. part 2. Dyer 216. Plowd 265. Coke 3. 86. and 7. 12. Crooke 1. last published fo 693. A Fine sur Concessit is where the Cognizor is Fine sur Concessit what seised of the Lands contained therein and the Cognizee hath no Freehold therein but it passeth by the Fine it is without proclamations and executory for the Cognizee or Cognizees therein must enter and have a writ of habere facias seisinam according to their several cases for the obtaining of the possession if the parties at the time of levying such Fine sur Concessit be not in possession of the thing granted but if they be in possession at such time there needs not any such Writ or any Execution of the said Fine to put them into possession for then the Fine will enure by way of Extinguishment of Right and doth not alter the Estate or right of the Cognizee however perchance it may better it CAP. III. Of the parts of a Fine THe parts of a Fine are five viz. The writ of Covenant 2. The Composition or the Kings licence to alienate 3. The Concord 4. The Note of the Fine 5. The foot of the Fine And if it be a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. it is requisite that a sixth be added viz. Proclamations as a necessary adjunct thereunto 1 The writ of Covenant is the original writ Writ of Covenant taken out by the Cognizee or Cognizees against the Cognizor or Cognizors to the Fine for without â—his a Fine cannot be levyed And a Fine may be levyed upon any writ of Right or other writ whereby Land is demanded or may be recovered 2 The Composition or Kings Licence to alienate Composition for which the 〈◊〉 hath a Fine or sum of mony which is called the Kings Silver and is paid in when the Land reposeth 3 The Concord or Agreement between the Concord parties that intend the levying of the Fine wherein is declared how and in what manner the things contained in the writ shall pass and as the writ of Covenant is the foundation so this is the substance of the Fine For if the Kings Fine be entered and indorsed upon the writ of Covenant by the Clerk of the Kings Silver although the Cognizor dye before the Fine comes to the Chirographer yet is the Fine good for the Note and foot of the Fine are but Abstracts taken out of this by the Chirographer 4 The Note of the Fine which is an Abstract Note of the Fine taken out of the writ of Covenant and Concord by the Chirographer before it be ingrossed and begins thus ss Inter A. B. quer C. D. deforcientem 5 The foot of the Fine includeth the whole Foot of the Fine Fine the parties to the same the thing granted the day year and place and before whom the Concord was made and this is called the foot because it is the last part of the Fine And when this is done the Fine is ingrossed of Record and the Indentures made by the Chirographer and delivered to the party to whom the Cognizance is made and then the Fine is said to be ingrossed The Proclamations made upon a Fine which although they be not the essential parts of a Fine yet as is said before are requisite to a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. for they do make a Bar according to what doth pass CAP. IV. Who may be Cognizors and Cognizees in Fines and by what names they may give and take in a Fine SVch persons Male or Female or bodies sole or Who may be Cognizors in Fines Corporate that are capable of granting by deed may be Cognizors in Fines And so an Infant Feme covert an Ideot mad or Lunatick person one non sane memorie or that hath a Lethargy or a doting old person that wants discretion a man that is drunk or one born blind deaf and dumb a Bastard an out-lawed person or one Attainted of Treason or Felony or persons that are compelled thereto by threats and Menaces to lose their lives or members or to suffer Imprisonment and a Fine levyed by them may be good But the Iudges or Commissioners before whom Fines are to be levyed by such persons ought not to admit such unfit persons to acknowledge Fines as Madmen Lunaticks Ideots doting persons men that have the Lethargy or are drunk Infants Feâ—e Coverts and such as are forced to it by threats or Imprisonment neither ought such as are born blind deaf and dumb persons attainted of Treason or Felony and such like to be received to levy Fines But if any of these be admitted Cognizor in a Fine and such Fine be thereupon levyed in due form of law The Fine in most cases will be good and unavoidable Coke 12. 124. Lit. Sect. 731. fieri non debet sed factum valet A Fine may also be levyed by a Mayor and Commonalty and such other Corporations Civil and bodies Politick as have an absolute Estate in their possessions belonging to their Corporations if it be done together and by the joynt consent of the body Corporate For no one of the Corporation no not the head of the Corporation by himself nor any of the
Members though the greatest part of them consent thereto without the general consent of the whole Corporation may Levy a Fine for that shall not be good Corporations Spiritual as Bishops Deans and Chapters Heads and Fellows of Colleges and the like are forbidden and restrained by divers Acts of Parliament from levying any Fine of their lands belonging to them at this day but of the lands such persons have in their own Right they may levy Fines as other persons may do A Fine levyed by one Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner of Lands so held by him to a Stranger another Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner will be good And lastly take this general Caution concerning Cognizors in Fines That they must be such and have such an Estate in the Lands intended to be granted by Fine as they are not prohibited by any Law to levy the Fine otherwise the Fine will be void And hence it is That Bishops Deans and Chapters Prebends Parsons Vicars and the like may not levy a Fine of any Ecclesiastical Lands in which they have any Estate of Freehold in right of their Churches Houses c. for if they do it will be void after their lives Coke 11. 78. Plowd 575. 538. 375. 21 Edw. 4. 13. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate Tayl of the Kings gift of provision may not levy a good Fine of it to bind the King or the Issue in Tayl by 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. And that a Fine levyed by the heir that is an Intruder upon the Kings possession is void 1 H. 7. 5. 24 Edw. 3. 65. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate in Fee-simple of lands in the Right of his wife may not levy a Fine thereof without her and if he do she or her heirs or other person to whom the right may come may avoid it after her death 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. 12 Edw. 4. 14. Coke 6. 55. Brooke Fines 121. Concerning Cognizees in Fines you are to Wâ—o may be Cognizees in Fines know That any person that is capable of being a good Grantee in a Deed may be a good Cognizee in a Fine and may thereby have and take the thing granted by it And so any man or woman Sole or Covert of full age or under age any mad or Lunatick person Ideot or man de non sane memorie any person in or out of prison or beyond Sea any person attainted of Felony or Treason or outlawed in a personal Action a Bastard a Clerk convict an Alien any one of these may be a Cognizee and take by a Fine as well as by a Deed. And a Fine levyed to any such person is good 50 Edw. 3. 9. 3 H. 6. 42. 24 Edw. 3. 62. So Corporations Spiritual and Temporal Civil or Corporal may be Cognizees in Fines and Fines levyed to them will be good But before the Ingrossing of such a Fine there goeth alwaies a Writ to the Iustices of Common Pleas Quod permittunt Finem illum levari Note that a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. may not be levyed to any person but one that is party to the writ of Covenant Except the Cognizee be a Demandant in a writ of Entry And so a Fine levyed by the Demandant to the Vouchee who is supposed by the Law to be Tenant to the land or from the Vouchee to the Demandant is good and yet they are not Parties to the Writ But a Fine levyed by the Vouchee to a Stranger is void Coke 3. 29. 7 Edw. 4. 13. Care must be taken in Fines that Cognizors and By what names Cognizors and Cognizees may give and take in a Fine Cognizees must be named in Fines by their right names of Baptism and Surname except they be Kings Princes Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts or Barons which are admitted without any surname as Jacobus Rex Angliae Carolus Princeps Walliae Johannes Dux Lancastr c. But for Knights Esquires and Gentlemen which be names of Worship and Honour their Christian name and Sur-name are alwaies expressed together with their Additions And as for the Additions of Bishop Dean Parson c. they are admitted in Fines rather out of Courtesie then necessity for the Fine may be good without them Brownlow 1. part 30. 7 H. 4. 22. 1.

So if it be a Corporation or Fraternity to be named in the Fine care must be had that it be done by the very true name of the Corporation as it is named in the Charter and Foundation of it 11 H. 4 44. 14 H. 4. 20. 7 H. 6. 27. 37 H. 6. 29.

That things passed in Fines must be set down by their Nature and quality as Land Meadow Pasture c. and by the place where they lye there must be apt words used to express the thing named to pass by the Fine For a Fine levyed de tenemento or de hereditamento or de duobus tenementis for the uncertainty of the thing and unaptness of the words is void or voidable at least for Error Crooke 1. 196.

Arcana Clericalia OR A Treatise OF Common Recoveries UPON Writs of Entry In le Post A Common Recovery defined A Common Recovery is onely fictio Juris or a Conveyance by consent used for the better assuring of Lands and Tenements upon any man wherein the Recovery in value the supposed Recompence for him which loseth his land is but a fiction in Law And this Recovery by assent is now by custome become a Common Assurance and Conveyance upon which Vses may be limitted and raised Coke 1 part Sir William Pelhams Case 14. But there is a great difference between a Recovery by assent and a Recovery without assent of the Parties Vide 14. El. Cap. 8. The former definition explained IF any person have a desire to render himself capable of disposing of Lands or Tenements which are intayled upon him and would be enabled to sell give or bequeath them as he pleaseth the course is to procure some friend to bring a Writ against him for this Land or in case where he doth sell the Land perhaps he that buyeth it or is to have it setled upon him shall bring the Writ against him that is to make the Assurance of the Land if it be with a single Voucher And in this case the Demandant being Plaintiff in this Action doth suppose that the Tenant or he against whom the Writ is brought hath no right to the Land but that he onely viz. the Demandant hath right thereunto and that the Tenant came to the Land wrongfully by means of one Hugh Hunt a stranger therein named And to this Writ the Tenant doth appear either by Attorney or in person and then doth enter into defence of the Land but in Pleading doth vouch to warant such a man from whom or his Ancestors the Lands in question are supposed to come to him or his Ancestors the Ancestor of which third person obliging himself and his heirs by Conveyance to warant and make good the Title to him or them to whom it was Conveyed and thereupon he prayeth that this Vouchee or third person may be called into Court to defend this Title whereupon being called he doth appear and seem to defend the Title denying that the Tenant came to the land wrongfully by means of the aforesaid Hugh Hunt upon which he takes Issue
or put himself upon the Country whereupon the Demandant prayeth a further day to imparle or confer about the matter which being granted unto him by the Court at the day appointed the Vouchee or third person aforesaid by Agreement and consent of the Parties comes no more into Court but makes default whereby judgment is given and awarded by the Court to the Demandant that he shall recover against the Tenant the Lands in question and that the Tenant shall recover over so much Land of the third person as is sufficient to recompence him for the Land recovered from him which the said third person or Common Vouchee ought to have waranted and defended but suffered to be lost And this is a Recovery in value or pro Rata But if the Recovery be with a double Voucher or treble Voucher then the third person upon his appearance is to call or vouch to warant a fourth person who must be the Common Vouchee and to alleadge in the same manner as the Tenant doth and pray that such fourth person may come in who thereupon must appear and make default in such manner as before is mentioned of the third person in the Recovery with single Voucher And so if there be more Vouchers And then there must be several Recoveries over in value against every one of them But he that is last vouched or called to waranty is alwaies Common Vouchee who is usually Bag-bearer to the Custos Brevium of the Court of Common Pleas and hath not any Land to render in value upon the supposed warranty And by this means grounded upon the strict Principles of Law the first Tenant doth willingly let go the land for the assurance of the Purchasor and yet in truth hath no recompence over because the Vouchee hath no Land to render in value Of what a Writ of Entry may be had and by what Names A Precipe quod Reddat lyeth de Castro Manerio Mesuagio Tofto Molendino Columbari Gardino de Terra Prato Pastura de Bosco de Jampnis Bruera de Mora de Juncariis de Marisco salso frisco de libera Piscaria in Aqua de E. de redditu de communia Pasture pro omnibus averiis de communia Estoveriorum de Pannagio pro Porcis de Visu Francii Plegii de Rectoria de L. cum pertin de quibusdam portionibus decimarum provenien crescen seu renovan in K. de Advocatione Ecclesie de W. de Advocatione Vicarie Ecclesie de S.
